The question was did God think building a tower that will reach d sky possible for them and so had to stop them?
Hahaha cheesy ..what is happening to me this night?
My brother wrote a long epistle yet nothing near to an answer.
Let me embolden it for you:

Regarding your second explanation, because the first one did not really address my question, are you saying it is not an event that actually took place ? If yes, how could you tell ?
Dictionary : Allegories , when interpreted , can reveal hidden meanings of anything . The characters and events are symbols that stand for ideas about human life .

In some cases the characters are real people but their actions are made up to just to covey different ideas or hidden meaning of a particular thing. You can tell if a story is allegorical if there is no tangible evidence to support that it did happen .

Your ignorance is your business not mine. Deal with it
Feeble attempt at evading the question. No shame abeg. Revealed or copied? My money is on copied though.
Re: The Tower Of Babel by KingEbukaNaija: 11:44pm On Jul 08, 2016
Ranchhoddas:
Which is it to you. Did it happen or not?
I don't know , I don't even care sef . If it is either of them , does it actually change anything ? God still remains who he is .

Well this bible verse kinda explains :

1 Corinthians 14:26
What is the outcome then, brethren? When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation Let all things be done for edification.

Like i said its either you have explanation or you let it slide, do you expect me to know everything ? You don't have right to validate my Christianity, are you Jesus or deputy Jesus ?
Guy, take it easy, no be fight.
You asked a question, I will answer you, but you asserted that you are a Christian and am asking you, as a Christian, if an unbeliever is confused about this and asks you, what will u tell him/her.
Attempt an answer let's begin from there. I don't expect you to start screeching like a Muslim.
We have discussions not banters.
Now, tell me...

Ebuka aren't you quoting this out of context? I think this chapter was talking about tongues, prophecy and all that...and not about interpretation of the scriptures though. Won't you think so having read the whole chapter, you know to get the whole message??

At least her evasion is better than your portal.
Heaven now has a portal...Lmao...

Look at them. They cannot even agree on anything. Ebuka see your life?

Ebuka it's not a nice approach, in life there will always be people with better understanding, so asking them for an explanation is not a wrong thing to do. If d guy doubts my Christianity, I can't help him. And for taking your time to answer, thank you. I just need answers not argument.

What is wrong with these people and vacuous responses huh

KingEbukaNaija:
Thanks bro for the mention .

Here are two explanations for it

[size=16pt]1. Babel means gate to Heaven or gate of God , you know like a portal - [/size]this esoteric knowledge could have been revealed to the men of the earth by the fallen angels . The only way to reach this portal was to build a tower , there were no aircraft then .

The pic shows a portal . Look at those towers below it . That was what the builders made onerous efforts to get to -that's if you choose to take the story as a literal narrative . [size=16pt]A portal is like a shortcut - a magical or technological doorway[/size] that connects two locations, dimensions, or points in time
I told people with low IQs to stay away from this threa , they wouldn't listen .

Well , you wont say you dont know . Put yourself in that situation and try to think , what will be your response if the question was thrown to you

I am an atheist. And stop being a bigot.
It's not always a "me against them" approach dude, you can actually have rational discussions about certain stuffs without it leading to unnecessary "war". undecided undecided

I am sorry but the truth is you will never get a satisfactory answer. They will dance around it till next year. Your inner skeptic is coming to the fore. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you are on your way to atheism/pantheism/deism/agnosticism or any of the other 'isms'. Safe Journey.

Epic fail. I am not an atheist. I've told you several times.

Yes I can say i dont know cos I don't have infinite knowledge, thereafter I can read more on it, ask people about it which is what I am doing now and ask God for a revelation. He's not oblige to answer. It is that simple
